Development of Characterization and Analysis Methods for Graphene Modified Coatings for Tubing

Abstract:

With the further deterioration of the oil and gas exploitation environment, the corrosion of tubing becomes an intractable problem. Therefore, choosing suitable anticorrosive coating is of great significance to the safe operation life of tubing and reduce economic cost. Effect addition of appropriate graphene in coatings can significantly improve its corrosion resistance of the coating. However, most of the applied research are focus on marine heavy corrosion condition; the relationship between the corrosion mechanism and performance of graphene coating for tubing is not clear, probably due to difficulty in the characterization of the organizational structure characterization of the graphene modified coating. In the present work, Typical methods of the graphene coating characterization: Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with EDS, Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) will be introduced, and the application prospect of the coating will be discussed. It indicated that the single characteristic method cannot analysis the structure and morphology information of graphene anticorrosion coating comprehensively. Flexibly use of a variety of characterization methods to study the anticorrosion mechanism and performance of the graphene modified coating for tubing is a better choice. The graphene modified anticorrosive coating for tubing is with the potential of wide applications.
